Having issues with Samsung fridge. The fridge side was working and the freezer was not. The compressors were checked and were fine. Replaced sensors and the freezer worked for a while. Now the whole thing is not working at all. The compressors try to kick on but immediately shut off.

Checking compressor wiring resistance with a 9 volt ohmmeter will not determine bad windings, only a wheat stone bridge and accurate factory data will determine shorted turns. Do the compressors still have voltage when they shut down?

Strange that both compressors shut down, seems like a power problem. Normally, I check the start device to see if it's blown open, most probableproblem. Amprobe check would show if the windings are drawing excessive current.
